Mount St. Michael hasn’t been the most consistent team this year, but the Mount seems to save its best football for the stiffest competition.

After ending St. Anthony’s long winning streak earlier this season, seventh-seeded Mount St. Michael beat host No. 2 St. Joseph by the Sea on Staten Island yesterday in the quarterfinals of the CHSFL AAA playoffs, 22-14.

“We hadn’t been playing with a lot of confidence,” Mount coach Mario Valentini said. “Today, we got that back.”

Valentini’s team overcame a 14-8 halftime deficit in the win and will play sixth-seeded Chaminade in the semis after Chaminade’s 19-14 upset over No. 3 Holy Trinity.
